Principal and interest schedule
Tax and insurance are collected alongside the loan but are not part of it, so they are excluded here.
What Wyoming actually costs a homeowner
No income tax, a low rate, and a residential exemption enacted after a run of steep valuation increases.
On the state median home value of $272,500, the property tax bill works out at roughly $1,553 a year, or $129 a month before anything else. That is below the national effective rate of 0.86% — 0.7 times the US average.
Insurance is the other half of the escrow payment. At about $1,800 a year, Wyoming sits below the national average of roughly $2,400. Together, tax and insurance add around $279 a month to the loan payment on a median-priced home here.
Why your bill will differ
The figure above is a state average, and property tax is set locally. Two houses of the same value in different counties of Wyoming can carry bills that differ by thousands. Check your county assessor before treating any estimate as final, and check whether a homestead exemption applies to you — in most states it does, and in several it is substantial.
A low rate, which is not the same as a low bill
At 0.57% Wyoming has one of the lowest effective rates in the country. Whether that translates into a small bill depends entirely on value: the state median of $272,500 produces about $1,553 a year, but the same rate on a $545,000 home is $3,106. Rate rankings flatter states with expensive housing.
Tax and insurance are close to balanced
About $1,553 in tax against $1,800 in insurance, so neither dominates the escrow payment. Together they add roughly $279 a month before any principal or interest — the part of a housing budget that does not fall as you pay the loan down.
Stepping up from the median
At $410,000 — about half again the Wyoming median — the annual tax becomes $2,337 and the escrow portion of the payment rises to roughly $345 a month. With 20% down at 6.5% over thirty years, the all-in payment is about $2,418.
